My friend is musician writes song and lyrics in russian. But he wants to sell abroad this song and that's why he translates it in english. He asked me to show on this forum his translation. Maybe, he should look for a poet who knows english much better?
Thanks and sorry for my english.
Song:
Rain has passed, the road flows like oil. And slips away from under feet, as teasing me. Murky horizon, spiked with lanterns. I see the light, I feel the taste of mountain tea. My boots are asking food. I'm often in a bad mood. But I believe, and I can grow up like a tree. Life is not a sugar cube. Death is not like a newb. Sometimes I'm scared and I'm tired of being free.
Tomorrow, maybe, will be a bad day; I will fall and I wash away the air wave. Maybe I will become an easy prey Not excluded, but it would not be my grave. In my eyes hidden quest. And I look like a blest. But, I can fool around and show my magic tricks. Time is not stretching like a spring. Eternity. Last ring. I want compose my feelings in a clear mix.
Now it seems to me that sky is lying. And the night is much brighter day. It's strange but true. Difficult to breathe, but I keep trying. And thoughts crawl like cockroaches. Oh, please let me glue. While in my hand the gun, While in my head the sun, I have no fear, and nothing will misdirect me. While in the back with wind, While we are of one mind, I know who I am and I feel most happily.
